Brief summary

Dyspnea in asthma, is mainly due to airway obstruction but can be caused by several alternative diagnoses. The impact of sarcopenia on dyspnea in patients with asthma is unknown. Sarcopenic asthma had a reduced physical activity and is associated with airway obstruction compared to non-sarcopenic asthma. In patients with obstructive pulmonary disease, sarcopenia is associated with shallow breathing and diverse sensory and affective components of exertional dyspnea . The morbidity of sarcopenia is also increased by systemic inflammation and the production of inflammatory cytokines as found in inflammatory airway obstruction. The investigators will investigate the prevalence and impact of sarcopenia in asthmatics patients. This will enable to better manage sarcopenia in asthmatic patients, understand its origins and personalize treatment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Variation in the intensity of dyspnea during exercise mesured with Borg scale (0-10) according to the presence of sarcopeniaFrom baseline (at rest) to the end of the exerciseRecording of Borg's dyspnea score during exercise on a scale of 0 (no dyspnea) to 10 (major dyspnea)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Variation in exercise-induced release of biomarkers according to the presence of sarcopeniaat rest = baseline / right after the end of exercice / 45 minutes after the end of exerciceVariation of cytokine as IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-alpha plasma concentrations (pg/mL) ; adipokines ; myokines
Difference in muscle mass (kg) on impedancemetry according to the presence of sarcopeniaBaseline
Difference on maximum aerobic capacity (VO2 max in L/mn) , according to the presence of sarcopeniaimmediately after the exercise testDifference on physical activity
Difference in fat mass (kg) on impedancemetry according to the presence of sarcopeniaAt baseline
